1. Update Contact Forms/Info

This is an easy one, but it’s something we see overlooked alarmingly often.

When you move locations, open a new branch, add employees, or get a new phone number/email address, make sure you’re updating that information on your website!

If you have an old phone number or contact information (let alone address) listed, you’re going to lose a ton of business – and you just won’t look professional. If you do have a new phone number or street address, it is very important to update that info on your directory listings as well (Yelp, Yellow Pages, Alignable, etc), if Google finds incorrect address or phone numbers on those listings, as it can seriously hurt your local SEO

2. Always Assess Your Loading Time

Making sure your site loads quickly on both desktop and mobile web is a huge part of website maintenance.

When you’re creating your site for the first time, speed should be your top priority. But always remember that when you add pages, badges, videos, more features, buttons, and posts…sometimes this can impact your loading speed over time.

Not sure how fast your site is loading? Look into free sites like Pingdom to get your loading speed! It’s a good idea to check every day, especially since you know just how much of a toll slow speed can take on your business.

3. Check for Broken Links

This is a crucial website maintenance practice because, as we all know, the web is constantly changing!

If you’ve made updates and changes to your website, URLs, page titles, image titles, and pretty much anything else – chances are, the placing you’re linking to and from have, too.
